    Study Notes

    Circular Flow of Income Model

    • Represents the movement of money within an economy, showing how households and firms interact.
    • Key components include consumers, businesses, government, and foreign entities, each contributing to income generation and expenditure.
    • Leakages (savings, taxation, imports) can reduce economic activity by taking money out of the circular flow.

    Income Per Capita

    • Current income per capita based on GDP is K1733.33; based on GNP, it is K2000.
    • Rising income per capita indicates economic growth; a decline suggests a contraction in economic activity.
    • Challenges include ensuring equitable distribution of national wealth among the population.

    Government's Role in Economic Distribution

    • The government allocates funds through the National Budget to various sectors, including health and education.
    • Corruption hampers fair distribution, creating socioeconomic gaps between the affluent and impoverished.

    Economic Independence and Self-Reliance

    • Aims to produce goods and services domestically to minimize foreign dependency.
    • Import-Substitution Manufacturing encourages local production to reduce imports.
    • Economic policies target enhanced self-sufficiency and independence.

    Inflation and Unemployment

    • Government policies can conflict; reducing expenditures might lower economic activities, impacting employment.
    • The Phillips Curve illustrates the trade-off between controlling inflation and unemployment rates.
    • Stagflation occurs when there is high inflation and high unemployment simultaneously, often seen during economic recessions.

    Economic Goals of Government

    • Aims include driving economic growth, achieving fair wealth distribution, and promoting employment opportunities.
    • National economic policies are necessary to maintain external balance and price stability, enhancing overall living standards.

    Measuring National Income

    • National income represents net values of goods/services produced over time.
    • Measurement methods include production, income, and expenditure approaches.

    Economic Challenges

    • Balancing inflation control while fostering economic growth is a government priority.
    • Fluctuations in exchange rates affect the price stability of goods and services, impacting citizens' living conditions.

    Key Terms

    • Stagflation: High inflation coupled with high unemployment.
    • Leakages: Economic factors withdrawing money from the circular flow, reducing activity levels.
    • Macroeconomics: Study of broader economic issues, including growth and government policy impacts.
    • National Income: Total income earned by a nation's residents over a specified period.

    Summary of Key Concepts

    • Economic growth is indicated by increases in income per capita.
    • Investment levels directly influence income generation and employment rates.
    • Fair distribution of development benefits remains a significant issue, affected by governmental transparency and efficiency.
